Subject: [PATCH v8 0/8] Use true MAC address of LAN local remote hosts
Date: Sun, 21 Sep 2025 18:08:57 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250921220905.478621-1-jmaloy@redhat.com> (raw)
Bug #120 asks us to use the true MAC addresses of LAN local
remote hosts, since some programs need this information.
These commits introduces this for ARP, NDP, UDP, TCP and
ICMP.
---
v3: Updated according to feedback from Stefano and David:
- Made the ARP/NDP lookup call filter out the requested address
by itself, qualified by the index if the template interface
- Moved the flow specific MAC address from struct flowside to
struct flow_common.
v4: - Updated according to feedback from David and Stefan
- Added a cache table for ARP/NDP table contents
v5: - Updated according to feedback from David and Stefan
- Added cache table entries to FIFO/LRU queue
- New criteria for when to consult ARP/NDP
v6: - Simplified and merged mac cache table commits
- Other changes after feedback from David.
v7: - Fixes in patch #2 based on feedback from David
and Stefano.
v8: - Redesigned netlink and cache table part to be based
on a subscription model.
Jon Maloy (8):
netlink: add subsciption on changes in NDP/ARP table
fwd: Add cache table for ARP/NDP contents
arp/ndp: respond with true MAC address of LAN local remote hosts
flow: add MAC address of LAN local remote hosts to flow
udp: forward external source MAC address through tap interface
tcp: forward external source MAC address through tap interface
tap: change signature of function tap_push_l2h()
icmp: let icmp use mac address from flowside structure
